I honestly never thought I’d be in a position where I’d need to make something like this, but right now I could really use the help. I recently got into an accident while riding my electric unicycle in the mountains on a day off. Going around a corner, the sun was hitting the road just right and I couldn’t see a patch of dirt ahead. My tire slipped out from under me while I was going about 20 mph, and I crashed hard. When I looked down, my foot was twisted sideways. I had to put it back into place myself and drag myself to the side of the road, where I waited until a stranger thankfully stopped and took me to the hospital. I ended up fracturing my ankle and breaking my fibula, and now I’m needing surgery and time to recover.

As someone who works on his feet every day helping others through pain and movement, this has completely flipped my life upside down. I can’t work the way I normally do, and that means I’m now dealing with both physical pain and a lot of financial stress at the same time. I also recently turned 26 and lost my parents’ insurance, so I’m trying to navigate all of this on my own while facing medical bills, surgery costs, and regular living expenses.

I’m asking for support from anyone who feels called to help. There’s absolutely no pressure, and I’m grateful for anything, whether that’s donating or sharing this with others. Thank you for helping me get through one of the hardest moments I’ve faced.
